PLZ EXPLAIN, AND I NEED HELP NOW! If an organism's body cells have 12 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will sex cells have? Explain.

6 chromosomes

Explanation:

The gametes or sex cells produced by the organism will have 6 chromosomes if the organism has 12 chromosomes.

Explanation:

The diploid organism has all chromosomes in pairs, one chromosome inherited from male parent & another chromosome in the pair is inherited from the female parent. If an organism has 12 chromosomes, it has 6 different types of chromosomes, differing from one another in length, the position of centromeres and genes present on these. Six different types of chromosomes constitute a haploid set of chromosomes. Two chromosomes of the same type are called homologous chromosomes and these constitute a homologous pair. The cells producing sex cells or gametes undergo meiosis (reduction division) so that each gamete contains only one chromosome of a homologous pair. The gametes are haploid, having half the number of cells as compared to somatic cells.

Hope this helps have a great day/night! :}
